Team Learning

Our clients are faced with the challenge of how to manage knowledge within their organizations. We use our Building Blocks of Change to facilitate team learning. The Building Blocks help people visualize and understand the interconnected elements of creating change in their business environment.

Visit our Learning Center section to read more about the Building Blocks of Change, to understand the characteristics of a learning organization and to view some helpful worksheets that accompany the Building Blocks.

We also offer team building workshops to enhance team performance in the areas of interpersonal communication, group decision making, and clarifying values and visions. We use work style assessments, videos, and role play to help organizations create more productive working environments.

Community Coaching Initiative: a National Learning Community

KHA is a founding partner of the Community Coaching Initiative, a diverse network of practitioners dedicated to uncovering keys to transformation inside communities.

Coaching is a valuable nutrient and catalytic agent to any group efforts that require innovative ideas, shared leadership or participation, and comprehensive or integrative approaches across boundaries and economic sectors. Effective coaching, alone among other strategic approaches, provides the gestalt and enabling environment for collaboration, problem-solving, and shared learning for the common good or creating positive futures.

Coaching is an extremely effective tool for helping groups reframe their operating systems, unleash new ideas, transition to new leadership, and negotiate partnerships. Most of these are critical competencies for successful community building.

Coaching Creates These 7 Outcomes

1. Communities used new ways to live and work together.
2. Community teams uncovered new ideas that led to successful community change.
3. People came to see the reality of different perspectives, so they could work with others more effectively, reduce conflict, and create the conditions for a learning community.
4. Leaders included the whole community rather than a select few or the traditional elite.
5. Groups successfully challenged the status quo.
6. Community groups were able to generate self-direction - to decide for themselves what will work, how and why.
7. The group found a way to get unstuck and connect or reconnect their strategic work to their vision.

The organizations involved in coaching include large foundations, government programs, and local groups such as community arts groups. The activities where these coaches are providing support range from board development, economic revitalization, civic engagement, helping low income women become financially independent, community planning, and encouraging organizational collaboration. The coaches have goals of helping groups generate improvement in the areas of employment, education, poverty-reduction, housing, environmental enhancement, business development, economic renewal and leadership development.
